How to Grow Echinacea

Plant echinacea plants outdoors after danger of heavy frost. Space 1.5' apart. Site in average dry to medium-moist soil, in full sun to light shade. Deadhead to encourage reblooming. Water plants regularly and leave undisturbed until established. Cut back spent flowers in late autumn.

Harvesting Echinacea

Harvest when blooms are open. Cones can be cut to dry for dried arrangements.
